I've always enjoyed playing the piano, unfortunately I never learned properly (and it's in the wrong clef for me) so it's always just been easy pieces. One I've always enjoyed playing is Grandma's Theme from Wind Waker, and Warmth and Kindness from Layton 6.

I have a friend who was like that, but he taught himself piano enough to play what he wanted to play (which was a LOT of Coldplay) as he's a great singer so wanted to combine the two. He managed to make girls literally weep for his performance in my old school's concert so basically if you have in mind things that you want to play that definitely helps!

I do love Warmth and Kindness and I'll definitely do that at some point as I have the sheet music from a while ago.

Here is another piece by Einaudi, from his latest album Elements in fact, Song for Gavin. One of my favourite pieces from the album, for sure and it's a great tribute to his colleague and friend the Gavin Clark, who if you watched the This is England series you will have heard.

If you want all the songs from Ocarina of time that I've done, check out the playlist here.The first Kirby piece I've done, the Title Screen from Epic Yarn. Quite bouncy, plus the second half is a very nice chord sequence.

Another Super Mario Galaxy piece, this time Toad Brigade. This has become Captain Toad's theme (plus a few other sections) but this is where it all began.

What equipment do you use to record? camera, microphone etc.

Just thought I'd add now that I've changed it now. Still recording off the video with my phone, but now I'm taking the audio from the headphone output and putting it straight into a computer (recording with Audacity in fact). So the sound quality is much superior now.

This can be seen from this piece from Super Mario Galaxy, Library. This was more a test to try out the new set up and it came out great.

However, this next piece is where it is more noticeable. From Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, comes Warmth and Kindness. As I said to Euan, I did expect to do this at some point and I'm glad I could do it with a greater sound quality.

My favourite song from GuitarThis is an important space, as I have no space Hero is Hotel California tbh.I've been in a bit of an Animal Crossing mood recently, so here's some more. Another one for the hour's playlist with 6 AM and 6 AM (Rain). The percussion noises you here (more so in the normal version) is me clicking my tongue. I felt like it actually matched the original quite well.

Next we have the Museum Theme, the theme that has been the same from Wild World onwards. Although with the newer games, we've had more variants including the Exhibit Room in New Leaf.

Speaking of variants, Nook's Homes is a remix of Nook's theme from previous games too. This time it's much more fancy than when he was in his Cranny.

Time for some more Einaudi, as it's been a while since the last one. Here's Indaco from his 2009 album Nightbook. I really love the middle bit from 2:40 onwards.

I decided to do something a little different for the next one. Rather than just have solo piano, I've added in some extra bits to the music (all played on the same keyboard) over the top to make it sound more like the original. So here's Undella Town (Autumn/Winter/Spring)...

I'm interested on what people think of this style of piece, with added extra bits.

Finally, another piece where I've added more layers too and it happens to again be from Pokémon Black&White. This time its N's Farewell and again, I'm interested to hear people's feedback (as always) on it.

Been playing around with a few different set-ups seeing what works best and such. I'm also hoping to potentially play a duet with myself of some kind by the end of the summer, if I can work out how to get it work properly.

Anyway, here's some more pieces. First off, another piece from Super Mario Galaxy - Luma. One of the many pieces from the game that share a similar motif, some of which I've done before.

Next up is the File Select music from Super Mario 64. I know file select music isn't usually memorable, but I'm sure you'll remember this one!

Then we have a short piece from Majora's Mask, Sonata of Awakening. This was mainly a test to try this particular set-up, but I still enjoy the piece.

Another short one, this time from Pokémon Black&White - A Day of Beginnings. A very typically sounding "dawn of a new day" type of piece, but still a very pleasant sounding piece.

This is the first piece I've done from the Fire Emblem series, and from the game of the same name - Fire Emblem. The piece itself is Requiem which was originally much more staccato-y but I feel is improved in a more flowing style.

Finally, here's a piece from most people's least favourite Metroid game (so far), Other M. Though that said I do like this piece though, Samus' theme

Just subscribed! All of the stuff I listened to sounded really nice and it's given me a lot of motivation to work on my piano skills even more (although I wonder if I really should since it's not one of my two instruments that I'll be studying at school).

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's always nice to be able to play a bit of a piano, just as when visiting someone's house or something and they have an unused piano there it's nice to have a little go on it. I mean the more instruments the better, right? ;)

I unfortunately didn't get to record much over summer, as my camera was out of action unfortunately. However, I managed to get a few done then and some since so here's another update.First up is another Einaudi piece, a very epic sounding piece called The Earth Prelude. You will have most likely heard this in the background of something (the BBC use his back catalogue a lot), if you're wondering where you recognise it from.

Next is the stand out piece from the film Amélie, Comptine d'un autre été. This has recently been doing the rounds in an advert (TSB or some other bank, not sure), and I really love it as it flows magnificently.

Back to videogame music and first up is back to the Pokémon series, with Let's Go Home from ΩRαS and N, the Pokémon Child from Black and White. Very different pieces from each other, but it shows off the breadth of styles that Pokémon has now in it's music and it looks like that will continue into Sun and Moon!

Now to a project that I'm slowly working my way through, the Animal Crossing: New Leaf hour music. Just one hour this time, 7 AM and 7 AM (Rain). I decided to add a rain backing to the rain version, as I thought the previous pieces were all a bit too empty at times. Plus, I feel it boosts the relaxedness off the music.

A series that has been popular on the channel has been the Professor Layton games, which is pleasing to me as I've always enjoyed the music from the games so was happy to play some more. So here is A Quiet Town from the Lost Future and Misthallery's Many Canals from the Spectre's Call. So now there is at least one track from each of the main Layton games, and I have one from the spin-off with Ace Attorney in the works.

Finally, the piece I'm most happy with is from Kirby's Epic Yarn, which has a beautiful piano soundtrack. My favourite piece is probably Weird Woods, as it's just incredibly upbeat and simply happy to listen to. Have a listen
